The Smile of Future
That smile on your face,
That excitement
In your steps.. I feel it
I see you...
You seem so far away
In time, in another mind
(But still mine).
You're different, yet you can
Still recognize me-
My smile, my excitement
That are not real.
You're more real, although
There is no you without me.
I'm fading while you're
Drifting away.
I wouldn't come back
If I were you, but I need you
To stay in my dreams
So that in the long nights
I can remember your smile
And excitement; your future
That is brighter than my morning.
I don't know you yet, I love you
I hate you why do you leave every time
I try to dance with you. I'm not ready yet.
Your once fragile laughter is now filled with
Almost tangible satisfaction and obvious
Happiness of the future you. I'm your
Past, you're my future, but why
Can't we be our own present
Where we can dance freely
And it's never too late
Nor too early?
When you decide it's time
To become real, it will be
Possible and you
Will be closer to me
And I won't
Let you leave.
